Bullying or ganging up on a player should be a reportable offense.

This is the one thing that I experience more than anything else in the game. Especially when I'm with a premade I'm the odd one out and I am harassed and bullied until I mute everyone. When I lose lane I already feel bad enough. I don't need people telling others to report me for trolling when I'm 4/5/4.

I think this behavior should be punished heavily. The whole "report X" mentality is pretty toxic.

It is. Its not a special category because it falls under verbal harassment.

It is..?

Riot just recently clarified that asking someone to report others is allowed, if you do it once, for a valid reason, and it swiftly drops into ban-territory if it is used as harassment.

I have seen countless brats banned or restricted for spamming "omg report XXX so bad". They come here and cry about it, like they expect it is ok behavior.

Normally I would say you have a valid argument. But your player name is a reportable offense and in my experience, almost always assoc. with trolls. So, just report yourself or change your name.

It is, Riot just has very high-school definitions of what constitutes toxicity. My observations of the system lead me to believe you'll not get any repercussions unless you're actively being an -ist or a -phobe. So, you can pretty much swear someone into oblivion as long as you're very non-denominational about it.

You with me?

The real trick is to tell your bullies you're some sort of race, religion or other persuasion. Then, let the -isms and -phobias roll in, report them in endgame with detailed descriptions of what they said, and let new-age social justice work for you.

You could also do what I do and mute anyone you play with in ranked or normals. It's been my best mileage.

EDIT: Will Mr. Poopybunghole get out of this one!? Oh boy! That's a real doozy!
